Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub

We’re proud to highlight our alumni Blue Ocean Solids for transforming water treatment with their eco-friendly, safer solution. 💧✨ Founder Marc Beller reflects on their journey with Sustainable Cincy, sharing how Blue Ocean is empowering facility managers to play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions. With buildings responsible for 40% of global carbon output, Blue Ocean’s innovative solid water treatment for cooling towers, boilers, and closed loop systems helps cut waste and shrink carbon footprints. Their solutions make sustainability more accessible than ever! 🌍 #EcoFriendlySolutions #SustainableCincy #CarbonEmissions #BlueOcean #FlywheelCincy

Flywheel Social Enterprise Hub is on the fly! 🚀 This morning I headed north to visit to Michael Conger and his fantastic students at the Center for Social Entrepreneurship at Miami University. Next stop was Launch Dayton #daytonstartupweek where I met some incredible founders using the power of innovation to make the world a better place. The fun continues this week as Flywheel begins interviewing #sustainablecincy accelerator applicants (thank you for helping us spread the word!) We’ll wrap the week up as we join BRITE Energy Innovators for #CincyStartupWeekend at 1819 Innovation Hub as sponsors of the social good clean energy challenge!

We are just a few short weeks away from the next Sustainable Cincy program beginning and we are so excited to have University of Cincinnati join us for the journey. Take a short tour of the 1819 Innovation Hub where our in-person program content will be held! We are looking forward to September 23rd! 🎉 #SustainableCincy #UniversityOfCincinnati #1819InnovationHub #FlywheelCincy

We love hearing from our SustainableCincy Alumni!
